Send your good thoughts please...

So I've experienced the scariest moment of my life. Isaac had a high fever Saturday after waking from his nap. We gave him some medicine and it went down for a while but spiked up again over 103 that afternoon. I called the doctor and followed his advice and hope for the best. About 20 minutes later Isaac became unresponsive and then stopped breathing. His little lips turned blue and his skin turned gray. I thought I was loosing him. I called 911 after giving him a couple of breaths mouth to mouth . He started gasping for air and by the time the ambulance arrived his color was back and he was responsive. THANK GOD!

The last 24 hours were spent in the ER where Isaac had to endure IVs, swabs, pokes, and prods. We learned that Isaac had a febrile seizure which is somewhat common in infants with high fevers. He is still battling the fever and we are on a strict regimen of motrin and tylenol for the next 24 hours as well as an antibiotic for a throat infection (no flu). The nurses and doctor at the hospital were great and really helped keep Isaac comfortable and calm.

We came home this afternoon and he seems to be doing well. We are all exhausted. Isaac is asleep with his Hammy in the glider, Daddy's in bed resting. I have to write, blog and talk about this to help me cope. I keep seeing Isaac lying there on the floor as we waited for the paramedics to arrive. He just looked at me with empty eyes until his breathing returned to normal. I've never been so terrified in my life. How precious our children are. How easily it can all be taken away. I don't ask for this often but please pray for Isaac to make a speedy recovery. I miss his sweet little smile.
